RAILROAD BUILDING CURTAILMENT SEEN Shaw Tells Traffic Men Pri- vate Capital Will Demand More Returns. The only cheap thing in America today transportation, lLeslie M. Shaw, former Secretary of the Treas- ury, declared last night in an address at the nineteenth annual dinner of the Washington Traffic Club, at the Raleigh Hotel. The speaker declared that never will there be another rail- road built in the United States, un- less the Government builds it or the man who builds it is given a part of the unearned increment resulting from its building. % He said the one thing that has made the dreams of exploiters of natural resources realities is match- less transportation facilities, and add- ed the people have developed untold wealth because of transportation. S. Russell Bowen, Vice president of the Washington Railway and Elec- trio Co, president of the club, pre- sided. He spoke of the competition against local street railways by bus lines, and also referred to car fare ates. The speaker declared it is not the duty of regulatory bodfes to cut he rates of public utilities, but to sec now successfully managed they can be and how much better service can be rendered. Campbell Hits Radicals, “To the radicals success is a crime for which adequate punishment has not yet been, but must be, provided,” ®aid Philip P. Campbell, former Rep- resentative from Kansas. ‘“Modern success is a misdemeanor. 'Great success is a felony. For the present, for want of authority to impose punishment commensurate with their crimes, those who succeed are to be deprived of their accumulations by yrocess of taxation, whether the taxes are needed or not. “If we would build in the future, if we would have our posterity en- joy the necessitles and the luxuries of life, we must continue to teach that individual effort shall, as a matter of right, have Indlvidual re- ~vard, and that all shall be secure in their right to property and in fhe pursuit of their own happiness.” Odell S. Smith, in general charge ©f the dinnmer, and Maj. W. E. Covell, assistant engineer commls- sioner, made brief addresses. George ©'Connor sang, accompanied by Matt Forn. Mrs. Belknap S. Smith, coa- tralto; LeRoy Lewls, baritone; Julés C. Ricker, tenor, and Miss Edna White, accompanist, also entertained. List of Guests. Among those present were: Charles L. Howser, C. E. Dolans, C. E.

TRADE COMMISSION ASKS FURTHER PACKER ACTION Would Have Complete Separation and Operation of Refrigerator Car Lines. Separation of the control of meat refrigerator éars from the big five meat packing companies is urged by the Federal Trade Commisrion In a report sent to the Senate today in re- sponse to a resolution calling for information regarding the consent decree entered into by the packers with the Department of Justice in 1920. The commission also recommended that steps be taken either by the courts or by Congress to separate the big five packers finally from their ownership of stockyards through THE. EVENING sale either to existing agencies, such as the principal connecting railroads, or to separate companies ‘“entirély independent both in law and in fact.” In lleu of operation of refrigerator cars by the packers, the commission suggested formation of a single com- pany, similar to the Pullman company, entirely independent of the packing companies, to take over ownership, operation and routing of these cars, making sthem available on equal terms to all meat packers and other food distributors. The commission’s report says that although five years have elapsed since the big-five pack- ers were ordered to dispose of thelr ownership in stockyards, they have, in fact, separated themselves froia only 22.7 per cent of the par value of such holdings.

Aims and ideals of the community center department of the public schools were outlined by Mrs. Cecil Norton Sisson, general director, at & meeting of the Hine Junifor High School ~ Parent-Teacher Association yesterday afternoon in the auditorium of the school. One of the principal aims of the department, she sald, is to ald and supplement the educational work of the schools and to provide \ D. C, recreational activities. This has been done by furnishing in some cases, as she pointed out, essential school equip- ment, makipg necessary repairs and supplying activity leaders. Activities of the Southeast Com- munity Center were described by Mrs. M. W. Davis, community secretary, and Mrs. Bess Baker Plerce, leader of the publi king club of the center. Mrs. O. C. McCardell, member of the public-speaking club, of the center, told of the value of public speaking to the housekeeper, while D. Dinowitz stressed its value to the business mas. The senior cooking class of the school, under the supervision of~ Miss Cora Guest, domestic sclence teacher, served refreshments. Miss Annie Hinkle, vice president of the association, presided, and Harold Warner, principal of the school, introduced the speakers. e~ e It is safer to twist a llon’s tail than to call a woman's attention to her first gray hair.
